As was the case in Khan's previous public appearances, he strikes a good balance between being a bold leader this franchise desperately needs and taking a humble approach of a newcomer who admittedly doesn't have all the answers.

Khan's interaction with King eventually moved from an interview into a conversation in which he asked the veteran NFL writer about advice he'd have for him and the franchise moving forward.

Among the things King told Khan were that he admired general manager Gene Smith and how he approach his work, which is an unpopular stance right now because Smith and quarterback Blaine Gabbert are the main target of the fans' wrath. King advised Khan to not get caught up in the fans' desires, that you take it all in, but that good leaders do what they think is best instead of what frustrated fans want at any given moment.

Contrary to what a lot of fans are venting about wanting a new general manager and to draft a new quarterback, neither of those scenarios is likely to happen any time soon. If Khan is trusting Smith to be the point man on the coaching search, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to send him packing before Khan gets a chance to see how the front office operates over a significant period of time.

On the search for a head coach, King was pretty adamant that NFL teams shouldn't get enamored with big-name coaches working in television who have Super Bowl rings. "When I hear, 'let's go get Bill Cowher, let's go get Jon Gruden.' Why? Be creative," King told Khan.

Khan seemed to somewhat agree, saying: "When you hire in business, you don't worry about marquee value." But Khan was careful not to be pinned down definitively on the type of resume he wants from his first head coach, saying only he wants somebody he feels is a good fit and can be trusted by him and Smith. Khan wants to sit in on all interviews with prospective candidates.

Overall, the SI podcast provided some interesting tidbits about what life was like for Khan at age 16 when he first immigrated from Pakistan to Champaign, Ill. He talked about joining a fraternity with members that were two years older than him, as well as family background such as his mother being a math professor.

Khan even joked about how much publicity that's been given to his moustache, saying he didn't realize it had "superpowers."

When King asked him if he could pledge that he will never move the Jaguars, Khan was very diplomatic. He made no such promise, which was a smart move because nobody knows what the future will bring in five or 10 years.

Khan is clearly committed to Jacksonville, but there also has to be a commitment on the part of the fans to avoid blackouts and to grow the Jaguars' brand.

The Jaguars' new owner is setting the right tone. He's creating enthusiasm, but being as honest as possible about loyalty being a two-way street between the organization and the fans.

An exciting new adventure is unfolding with Jacksonville's NFL franchise. Khan appears to be a breath of fresh air. If he's as good as he sounds, it should be a fun, interesting ride.

And just look at all that talent since 2008 we have had walk out of Gainesville. Instead players who could ALL be here if drafted by Smith whose roots come from Hiedelberg which I only know is not in Germany, are now elsewhere and helping their teams at Denver (Tebow), Minnesota (Harvin), Miami (Pouncey), and New England (Hernandez). Given Jacksonville's proximiety to Gainesville, you can't ignore us, and if you do, we just don't show up and after a while, we lose a team. Right now the way I see it, the only thing this town can be proud of is the way Corkey Rodgers is running the program over at the Bolles School.

Shahid Kahn said it best when he said, " (Blaine) got put on the field much earlier then even the team was expecting. I think we need to help him, obviously, develop and have skill players around him who will give some potency to the offense." We get a good head coach in here (notice I didn't say "big name"), who sets up a good staff (with Tucker at DC), a quarterbacks coach with a proven track record, and brings a system that suits our players (a Coryell type offense would be perfect for our personnel, provided we get some receivers) and we're talking a team that will be really good, for a really long time. All of that would be made especially interesting if Luck goes to the Colts and performs. BEST RIVALRY EVER. How could anyone not want that to happen?

Whats really funny is Peter King says dont listen to the fans....I would hate to see the attendance if Peter King were the owner...HE would run a franchise right out of Jax...Which Khan may do if he doesnt listen..

Peter King is a moron if he thinks Gene Smith has done a good job...but I guess when you do NOT follow the Jags everyday you have really no idea what to say...

Lets be honest how much does King really know about the Jags history? He knows who was the owner and coach...I wonder if he knows Gene Smith gives up draft picks to move up for people who under perform? Does he know Gene Smith was head talent scout under Shack Harris...Does he know Gene Smith embarrassed Garrard, brought back Sims Walker and is inept at identifying talent on offense?
